PowerPoint Presentation Outline/Guidelines

Each presentation is to be made using the following guidelines:


  1. Introduce yourself and your partners
  2. Name and define your topic (define in your own words)
  3. How would someone know if they suffer from this? (Signs and symptoms)
  4. Treatments – if any If no treatment, tell how the person manages their illness/disease on a daily basis with medication, diet, exercise, etc.
  5. 3 WOWs!
    1. Interesting facts that you learned (whether they are statistics or simply pieces of information you thought was interesting and want to share with the class)
  6. Bibleography- Use www.bibme.com
  7. Questions and Answers
    1. You will field questions from the class
    2. Be prepared to give answers bases on your presentation

Each presentation is approximately 5 minutes in length. Notecards are allowed but probably not necessary, as you will have your powerpoint with you as a reference.
